I usually order the fried shrimp basket, which comes with 10 shrimp, delicious Cajun fries, a piece of garlic bread, and your choice of sauce. My favorites are the Cajun ranch and cocktail sauce. My boyfriend typically gets the fried fish basket, and they usually have a few fish options available. Whenever they have grouper, that's his pick. He also loves the jumbo shrimp, which are much larger than the standard ones, and always gets them with the sweet chili sauce. Their fresh mint lemonade is delicious, refreshing with the perfect amount of tartness. Every now and then, I'll order a crab cluster, which is sooo good, but be prepared to get messy! For dessert, my boyfriend can never resist the funnel cake fries. We'll definitely keep coming back to Mr. Shrimp. We bring friends here all the time, and no one has ever been disappointed. Five stars every time!

Hands down the best fried chicken I have ever had from a restaurant--so flavorful and perfectly crisp.

We celebrated Father's Day at South Bar and it did not disappoint. We had a reservation just…read morebefore it got really busy. This was our second time dining here; the first time being shortly after they opened. The restaurant is really beautiful inside with accents of green and gold and white. Outdoors, there's plenty of table space, a bar, and a stage for live music. It looked like it has been expanded since my first time there. I'm glad to see this restaurant doing well in Old Town Pompano. Our server was very friendly and assisted us with our questions about the menu. As we were there for brunch, we settled on fried green tomatoes Eggs Benedict, steak and eggs, and shrimp and grits. The fresh biscuits sounded so good that we ordered them. We should have asked for them to come out early, so we could enjoy them while we were waiting. However, we took them home and enjoyed them the next day. We also made the mistake of ordering a side of potatoes. That was definitely not necessary because two of the entrées came with potatoes, and we had more than plenty for the table. Again, something we enjoyed the next day. We were all impressed with what we ordered. Everything came out hot and cooked just as we had asked. My shrimp and grits were absolutely delicious. I also thought it was also nice that our server asked if we wanted to take our refilled drinks to go and prepared to go cups for us. This restaurant has been consistent for us, and I definitely plan to be back. Next time, I'd like to check out their live music scene and get a table outside when the weather gets a little cooler.

Calypso reminds me of a Caribbean Fish Shack (Lighthouse Point), with menus and blackboard special. Started off with an Arnold Palmer. Having never tried triple tail before, I was sold. I asked about jerk seasoning and Juan explained that since the triple tail is quite mild I may want it blackened instead so it's not overpowered. That and a side of pineapple salsa plus their "world famous" potato salad. My cohorts: she ordered fresh fried (tempura) shrimp with fries and he decided upon an interesting dish of scallops with pesto gnocchi. My fish was delicious with the pineapple salsa to cool it and my fellow diners raved about theirs. We were very satisfied and shall return.

We've been here many times before over the years, so I'm surprised I don't show a previous review…read more We've been here when it was packed on a weekend evening, and they had music, and it was too loud to converse. We've been here and eaten dinner in their backroom. We've brought visiting friends and family. We've been here over the years for various lobster specials and even sushi and during happy hours, too. This was the first time we'd been back in some time. It was a nicer and quieter experience coming for lunch during the week. We were able to spread out at a slightly larger table. There are still two kitchens, so it gets a bit complicated when you order. The food comes out whenever its ready, and from different locations, so you don't always get your appetizer first -- sometimes it comes with your meal. Next time, I'll try to remember this. The sodas are not brand name. They are not the best nor close to the originals. I think the carbonation might have been off, as well. Today, they had a special on oysters -- they were half priced. I ordered some peel n eat shrimp to come first so I could share this with my husband. And some Nola oysters -- half a dozen "grilled" New Orleans style for my main when he had his lunch. Instead, everything for me came out all at once. And the shrimp -- which I'd assumed would be cold -- were served hot. That was my mistake, I guess, not to verify this when I ordered. That being said, the shrimp swimming in garlic butter and a tad messy to eat, were a nice large size and quite good. They were served with a couple lemon wedges and a small container of cocktail sauce. The oysters, however, were miniscule and basically some hard melted cheese on a tiny bit of something difficult to taste/find. They didn't taste grilled, either. If we hadn't been paying only $10 for the six of them, I would have been even more disappointed. My husband got their shrimp and chips. The fries were served well done as ordered. The shrimp were in a thick batter. The dish came with some tartar and cocktail sauce. He said they were okay (and that my shrimp were much better than his). We had good service, and everyone was friendly and smiling.

We're still on the hunt for the best fried catfish in the Hallandale Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and…read moreMiami area, and after searching online, we decided to give Catfish Dewey's a try. If you're driving a larger truck, be aware that parking is available but pretty tight. Once inside, we were warmly greeted by the host, who was incredibly friendly and escorted us to our table. Our waitress was just as wonderful--attentive, personable, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. There was music playing everyone there was enjoying themselves. Since it was Tuesday, we both ordered the all-you-can-eat fried catfish special for $21.99. They start you off with hush puppies and coleslaw, and when your meal arrives, you get your choice of a side. We both chose the fries. The portions were generous, with plenty of crispy fried catfish on the plate. The fish itself had great flavor, was perfectly crispy, and wasn't over-breaded. The hush puppies were delicious, and the French fries were cooked just right. My husband, who considers himself a bit of a coleslaw connoisseur, really enjoyed the coleslaw. I wasn't as impressed with it, but that's just my personal preference. My biggest disappointment was the tartar sauce. For a restaurant that's been around as long as Catfish Dewey's, I expected a homemade tartar sauce. Instead, it came in a pre-packaged container and tasted overwhelmingly of onion. Unfortunately, it just wasn't for me. If I were rating everything individually, I'd give the catfish a 7/10, the hush puppies an 8/10, the fries an 8/10, the coleslaw a 5/10, and the tartar sauce a 0/10. Overall, we enjoyed our visit, especially the friendly service and the crispy catfish. While it wasn't the best fried catfish we've had, it was still a good meal. As I always say, don't let my opinion make your decision. Everyone's taste is different, so go try it for yourself and form your own opinion. You might love it!

Burger was cooked to order and had tomato and onion. For extra buck they add cheese. Comes with a couple fries which could have been cooked longer, but appeared fresh cut ?? Burger may not win awards as best ever, and not Wagu Japanese meat but this overshadows any fast food burger available at lower cost. It may even best some of those chain burgers. Their unique sauce is good and can only ask for more. Bun was brioche. Son was so enamored with menu and Po Boy' offering he grabbed one and ate 1/2 burger and 1/2 the shrimp Po Boy taking rest home. He liked the hush puppies but thought the coleslaw needed zip as too creamy. Nice deal for a twenty with fresh coated and fried shrimp.
